Instructions For Making Diaper Cake

A Diaper Cake For Fashionable Friend

Hey good lookin'! When one of the most fashionable people in the office is due to welcome a baby, it's not easy to come up with a gift that will wow the crowd. I recently found myself in that predicament as our own pregnant FabSugar editor approached her due date. While I would have loved to shower her unborn son with a closet like Skyler Berman's, I decided to keep things a bit lower key for our office party. The LilSugar team has a tradition of creating show-stopping diaper cakes for our colleagues' parties, and I carried it through with a stylish cake topped off with the one thing every Vogue-reading mama loves: shoes! See how I made our party's centerpiece, which took less than an hour!

For our fashionable FabSugar editor, what better decoration than some faux safety pins and clothes?

A few dangling pacifiers are both practical and fun.

Baby socks are beyond cute, so I stuffed them in the ribbon for some added color.

Our fashion editors have thing for shoes, so I made baby's first pair of shoes the topper on the cake.
